Every Shabbat since Oct 7, I have posted on social media about the hostages. I hope that before Passover, they will finally be returned to Israel. Bring Them Home.
The story of Cain and Abel constitutes a critical and fundamental lesson – we are all children of the covenant with the opportunity to serve each other and to serve God. We are, indeed, each other’s keeper.
A society that maximizes belonging while severing it from standards produces conformity, not freedom. A society that encourages mattering divorced from truth produces fanaticism, not dignity. Life and liberty depend on holding the two together.
Both the Chief Rabbi and America’s Commander in Chief understood that America and Israel were bonded by the Bible, allies in a faith guided by God’s ancient promise of freedom centuries ago.
The Israeli public may look at Jerusalem with nostalgic longing, but it misses the glaring warning sign the city is raising. The current Jerusalem model is not sustainable at the national level.
It was a masterclass in moral confidence. He met a moment of anger with dignity, and a moment of division with cultural self-assurance. He reminded America who Latinos are, without begging for permission or absolution.
The short-form film (calling it an advertisement would diminish both its art and its impact) offered an inspiring lesson about how to most effectively confront antisemitism.
We teach young Jews to defend themselves and Israel before we teach them to love Jewish civilization. Because our priorities are inverted. Too many resources flow toward monitoring hate groups. It’s time for a change.
Even if we really are victims, it doesn’t help us to come across as victims. The minute we do that, we look like losers, we make things worse, and the haters win.
